from the Great Law of the Haudenasaunee Confederacy:
The war chief shall address the chief guilty of murder and say:
“So you, ……….., did kill…………, with your own hands! You have committed a
grave crime in the eyes of the Creator. Behold the bright light of the Sun, and in
the brightness of the Sun’s light, I depose you of your title and remove the horns,
the sacred emblem of your chieftainship title. I remove from your brow the
deer’s antlers which was the emblem of your position and token of your nobility.
I now depose you and expel you and you shall depart at once from the territory of the League of Five Nations and nevermore return again. We, the League of Five Nations, moreover, bury your women relatives because the ancient chieftainship title was never intended to have any union with bloodshed. Henceforth, it shall not be their heritage. By the evil deed that you have done they have forfeited it forever.”
The war chief shall then hand the title to a sister family, and he shall address it and say:
“Our mothers,…………..listen attentively while I address you a solemn and
important subject. I hereby transfer to you an ancient chieftainship title for a
great calamity has befallen it in the hands of the family of a former chief. We
trust that you, our mothers, will always guard it and that you will warn your chief
always to be dutiful and to advise his people to ever live in love, peace and
harmony that a great calamity may never happen again.”
its always a good idea when using an analogy to support your argument that you make sure your analogy is CORRECT. you failed miserably.
here is some info for you. the USA constitution is based in large part on the government of my nation which was set up in 909 ce. its called a democracy. and not a representative democracy either but a TRUE democracy where every person has a vote and each vote counts. we had laws against murder and it carried a harsh and swift punishment too.
i hate people who drag natives into their lame arguments, get all the facts wrong, and only end up bringing out the other morons who don't know fact from fiction. mission accomplished, fool.
